You can back up configuration data of a View Connection Server instance by exporting the contents of its View LDAP repository.

You use the vdmexport command to export the View LDAP configuration data to an encrypted LDIF file. You can also use the vdmexport -v (verbatim) option to export the data to a plain text LDIF file, or the vdmexport -c (cleansed) option to export the data as plain text with passwords and other sensitive data removed.

You can run the vdmexport command on any View Connection Server instance. If you have multiple View Connection Server instances in a replicated group, you only need to export the data from one instance. All replicated instances contain the same configuration data.

Note

The vdmexport.exe command backs up the View LDAP data only. This command does not back up View Composer database information.
